this evening. when they arrived their home was fully engulfed. so far no word on what sparked that fire. mark joins us now. some good news tonight for sharks fans. really exciting game. >> it was a great game in vancouver they're ready for some good news. the season ended tonight. the sharks will be on the outside looking in at the play offs but there's hope and well it seemed the team that needed a complete facelift maybe not tonight. they got a whole bunch of firsts. 2:18 into the first scott gomez in front the veteran with his first goal as a shark. 1-0 and they will add to it in the second period. the canucks are in a power play. douglas murray steals it. up ahead to adam burres his first goal of the year. and it's 2-0. that was a great shot right there and a great

pass. vancouver forcesover forces -- forces overtime. now couture, that keeps san jose alive. then it's povleski and he wins it right here his first goal in the shoot out. 39 saves in the net for anti niemi. games that won't be remembered for anything other than how quickly they're forgotten. that would be exhibition baseball. kc worked over colon and the giants taking a whipping at the hands of the indians. it is a 2-2 ball game. 5th inning with the indians nick swisher in his first year with cleveland. he whacks one solo shot 3-2. then a doosey from the camera man. that's a good shot of the pole

but it was a homer. wind up winning the ball game 4- 3. as far as rumors go this is a good one. but there may be basis in fact. it's the old where there's smoke there's fire. and one of the best corner backs in all of the football derrell rivas coming to the niners with a trade. he missed much of last year due to injury. he's only 28 and is a three time first team probowl player. known as a shut down corner and he has heard the rumors himself and seems to like the idea, of maybe becoming a niner. >> i'm looking at their roster and their team. i would just be an addition to help them you know win that trophy. so would it be awesome i mean yeah. my main goal as a player and i think all of us as players in the nfl is to get that hold that lombardy trophy up in the air and wear
